Scenario grist for Morean Byzzies? Oct 12, 2016 14:34:33 GMT

I'm renovating my IV/51b Morean Byzantines for DBA3 in time for our group's Balkan Bash theme next week. I've looked in the usual WRG and Wiki sources for historical battles that involved the Despotate of Morea, but I've found zippo. Any Byzantine scholars out there who can point me in the right direction?

I'd like to present a scenario of an historical battle, ideally against one of the Moreans' opponents other than the Ottomans, e.g. Catalans or Albanians. But, I'll gladly take any ideas.

A professor from the University of North Dakota was working on a military history of the later Byzantine states on a sabbatical to Dumbarton Oaks. He never finished his work, and left the Univeristy without forwarding information! Perhaps, driven crazy by a lack of primary information. Duggan's Lord Geoffry's Fancy covers the two battles between Morea and the Romanian Franks. There is a mention of an invasion by the Knights of St. John, and the Kingdom of Navarre in Greece. I am not finding many details though....
